If the person or child you are caring for shows signs of anaphylaxis, use an EpiPen or EpiPen Jr. right away. The National Food and Allergy Guidelines recommend the use of epinephrine as the first line of treatment in case of a life-threatening allergic reaction. They suggest this as opposed to administering antihistamines.
